Center Number Cards Once a cost center number is in CORES, a center number card can be used at the MCB Resource Product Core, or at selected service cores. Cards can be printed at the Product Core (834 Light Hall); contact Kris Ellis at 2‐7238. Or send an email to [email protected] to pick up your cards in the Office of Research (CCC‐3322 MCN). User Roles in CORES Your user role in CORES is not necessarily restricted by your own job description. In order to have access to all the information you need, you may be assigned one or more of the following roles:
Principal Investigator This is the primary role in CORES. A Principal Investigator (PI) can be assigned multiple cost center numbers, multiple assistants and multiple departments. The PI can review charges and invoices, make center number corrections and generate reports for any cost center assigned to him/her in the system. Note: each cost center number can only be assigned to a single Principal Investigator.
Departmental Administrator
This role will have access to information for all PIs assigned to the administrator’s department. The administrator can review charges and invoices, make center number corrections and generate reports for any cost center assigned to PIs in his/her department. Note: in order to have complete access, it is important that each PI’s user profile be be set up with the correct department in CORES.
Lab Manager/Assistant
In order to view information in CORES, the Lab Manager/Assistant must be linked to another primary role: either Principal Investigator or Departmental Administrator.

Review center numbers available for invoicing in CORES From the Main Menu, select Reports, then PI/Center Number Report. A complete list of center numbers available for your department will be displayed. You can download this or any report in Excel or PDF format by clicking on either option near the upper right corner of the screen. Note: this report is available to Department Administrator role
Review charges in CORES throughout the month From the Main Menu, select Reports, then Usage Report or Pre‐Invoice Report to view details of charges to your cost centers. Pre‐Invoice Report will display charges that have been entered in the system during the 30 days prior to invoicing. Usage Report will provide summary or detail information on all historical invoices. Invoice Report will provide summary information on invoices by month. Query allows a customized search for current charges or historical invoices.
3 | C O R E S U s e r G u i d e
Transfer charges from one cost center to another in CORES From the Main Menu, select Center Number Correction/Distribution. A list of principal investigators will be displayed. Select the appropriate PI by clicking on the name. An itemized list of products and/or services that have been purchased using your cost center numbers will be displayed. Use the dropdown menu next to each line item to change the center number charged or to distribute the charge across multiple center numbers. Once charges have been entered by the core manager, you may review them at any time during the month prior to the upload process. You can choose to have your charges distributed evenly to any or all of your valid center numbers, or create a custom distribution. Note: This should be done before the third working day of each new month in order to correct or redistribute charges from the previous month before they post to the general ledger.
4 | C O R E S U s e r G u i d e
Invoice copies From the Reports menu, use the Query option to obtain copies of invoices. Choose a search period at the top of the page, enter the invoice number, center number or PI name in the appropriate field and click Search. A detailed report will be generated showing each item/service purchased, the PI’s name, cost center number charged, date of transaction and total amounts charged. Invoices can be downloaded and saved in PDF or Excel format.
5 | C O R E S U s e r G u i d e
Monthly billing and upload schedule Final billing for each month is complete by noon on the second working day of each new month. All CORES charges are uploaded to the general ledger once each month, on the third working day of each new month. After the monthly upload, contact the appropriate core manager for a refund of incorrect charges, or prepare a journal entry to transfer charges to a different center number. Invoices are displayed via the Approve/Reject Invoices menu option for 30 days, until the next invoice action. Note that the default action for all un‐reviewed invoices is “Approve.” After 30 days, invoices are no longer available for “Rejection.” However, you can review invoices at any time using the Reports Menu. Note that the regular upload schedule may be changed to accommodate fiscal year end, or holidays. Account Billing VUMC research core facilities use the following debit code: 60425 RESEARCH

Frequently Asked Questions How do I get a user ID and password to use CORES? Get set up as a CORES user by emailing [email protected]. Your request should include:
• VUnet ID • VU Employee ID (this is NOT the social security number) • Contact information: email, phone, address • Department name and/or research center membership • your PI name(s) if applicable
Once you have been set up, you can use your VUnet ID and e‐password to access CORES. How do core facilities and shared resources bill my center numbers? Core managers enter charges for products and services in CORES, using center numbers validated by your departmental administrator. Invoices are generated once each month, and all charges for the month are uploaded to Finance on the third working day of each month. PIs and their designated assistants receive email notification of invoices each month. Can I see the details of the charges made against my center numbers? Yes! CORES was designed to make getting this information easy. You can use a number of report functions to obtained detailed information about core products and services purchased on your center numbers. How do I get an incorrect charge removed from my center number? This is easy to do before charges have been uploaded to Finance. You can use the Center Number Correction/Distribution function in CORES to make these changes. Once charges have been uploaded to Finance, see your departmental administrator for assistance in preparing a journal entry to transfer the charge. If the charge is entirely incorrect, see the appropriate core manager for a refund. What happens when I “reject” a CORES invoice? An email is automatically sent to the core manager, and to the Office of Research to notify them of your action. However, the charges will still post to the general ledger. Contact the core manager for a refund, or initiate a journal entry to transfer the charge to a different cost center. How do I make a purchase in a Service Core? Verify your center number(s) with your departmental administrator or lab manager. You will be asked to provide a valid center number when you use core services. How do I make a purchase in a Product Core? You must have a Center Number Card to make a purchase in a product core. These cards
9 | C O R E S U s e r G u i d e
contain your center number information in barcode format. You will be asked to scan your card before making your purchase(s). How do I get a Center Number Card? Ask your departmental administrator to contact us at [email protected] to request a card. Cards can be printed and picked up in the MCB Resource Supply Core in 834 Light Hall, or in the Office of Research in MCN CCC‐3322. How does the product core self‐service terminal work?
• Scan your center number card ‐ Hold your card about 4‐6 inches from the scanner so that the red lines from the scanner cross the barcode on the back. The system will display the Center Number and PI Name.
• Your PI has the option to request that your name be entered for each transaction. If prompted, enter your name using the touch screen keypad.
• Scan your item(s). As you scan each item, the system will display the description and price.
• Touch the ‘Submit’ button. This is the last step after you have scanned all of your items. The system will notify you that the order is complete.
• CORES will automatically generate a receipt by e‐mail to the lab manager or designated person for each PI. CORES will also generate a monthly invoice containing all orders for the month. The lab manager can review and approve or reject the monthly invoice on‐line.
Is there training available for CORES? Yes. We can come to your office for small group or one‐on‐one sessions. Or you can attend one of our quarterly meetings.
